Catwoman, Vol. 2

Mercy Graves shot Catwoman as they fought. Now Catwoman is halfway to dead, and remembering how a man named Del Halpern caught her lifting a wallet at his cheap carnival. His solution?

His back crushed and his brain swelling, he told her the rules, "Never let 'em see you cry, never let 'em see you're hurt." Summoning that, Catwoman claws her way out of the river a reaches a bolthole left from her days as a mayoral candidate. There she bandages herself and looks at how to reach Batman in Gotham. Finally, she coerces a helicopter pilot to take her in. With Vin Nastacio in hot pursuit. She reaches Robinson Park, then Vin calls for her surrender. But Azrael has other ideas! Catwoman delivers the original discs to Batman, Azrael delivers himself and Vin to Leslie Tompkins, and Catwoman finds a rooftop where her injuries catch up to her, and she passes out...
